SHOCK: Pregnant Sam Bailey, 36, was told to spend the night in the hospital after her baby scare [GETTY]

Sam, 36, was taken to hospital where she stayed overnight after a bleed at home.

She said: “I went straight to hospital. I was genuinely frightened. I had an internal scan and they said ‘We need to check this out’.

“I was thinking ‘Oh God, what are you going to find?’ I wasn’t expecting them to say I needed to stay in. I was like ‘Oh gosh’. I hadn’t had anything to eat.”

The next morning singer Sam learned her baby girl, who is due in 15 weeks, was still healthy.

She believes doctors kept her in ­because a celebrity patient suffering complications would be bad publicity for the hospital.

Sam, from Leicester, who has a ­daughter Brooke, eight, and a son ­Tommy, five, with husband Craig ­Pearson, added: “They wanted to check everything, I suppose because of who I am.

“After you go through something like that being pregnant is nerve-racking. Every day I’m nervous. If you don’t feel a kick you genuinely panic ”

“Obviously they didn’t want to send me home and it all be hunky dory and then something happen.

“I’m kind of the nation’s sweetheart. They were just taking precautions. You can’t ignore anything like that.”

Nervous Sam went for a further scan at a local private clinic a day later.

She said: “I just wanted to put my mind at rest. I want to be careful.”

Just five years ago Sam suffered a miscarriage when Tommy’s twin died before he was born. Sam said: “After you go through something like that being pregnant is nerve-racking. Every day I’m nervous. If you don’t feel a kick you genuinely panic. It might have been because you’ve been running about but you still panic.

“I hear about people losing babies quite a lot.

“I’ve had family members go through things like that and I genuinely don’t know how they cope. If I lost a child now I’d be in the ­corner rocking.”
